Wheeler Cites Ownership of Pacific Mail asStifling CompetitionWASHINGTON, Feb. 22.— WilliamR. Wheeler, former assistant secretary of the department of commerce and labor, now manager of thetrafflc\bureau'of the Merchants' association of San Francisco, closed the Ipublic hearings on the administrationrailroad measure before the house committee on interstate commerce today.Wheeler m,ade an- argument in favorof a clause prohibiting: railroads fromowning stock in competing water carriers. He cited the instance of theownership of the Pacific Mail steamship. line by the Harrima'n interests,which, he said, had the result ofEtifling all opposition to the transcontinental railroads by way of. theisthmus of Panama. . 'The basis for the bill that will bereported by the hpuse committee isthe administration measure, but Chairman Manh will urge that features ofhis bill,- not included in the administration measure, be Inserted in it. TheMann bill omits the proposed court ofcommerce. No report will be made onthe bill within three weeks.Hearing Before SenatorsSeveral hours were again devoted bythe senate committee on . interstatecommerce today to listening to Attorney General Wickersham expound hisviews concerning amendments to the |interstate commerce law.Members of the committee were somuch interested in what he had to saythat they invited him to come backagain tomorrow. It is not expectedthat the bill will be reported until late*in the week. •Every phase of the railroad ratequestion touched on by the administration measure is receiving attention,j and practically all members of thecommittee have taken part in the examination of the attorney general.Supporters and opponents of the billalike "agree that Wickersham's viewswill be helpful in debate after the billIs reported to the senate.-While a majority of the committeewill vote to report the administration bill with few changes, it is probable tliat Senators Cummins and Clapp,and perhaps one or two democraticmembers,' may dissent and bring in theCummins bill as a minority report.Conspiracy Is Denied \PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.— That theLehigh Valley railroad is in a conspiracy to stifle competition by raisingcoal prices was denied ; today in theUnited States circuit court by Frank\ H. Platt of New York, one of the comi pany's attorneys.He declared that whatever combination of anthracite coal carrying railroads existed was simply to aid tradeand benefit the public. . , vPlatt's argument was in, answer to 'astrong arraignment of the so called coaltrust by James C.Mcßeynolds, special attorney for the government, whodeclared that six railroads had conspired in a \u25a0 twofold way to suppresscompetition in the anthracite region.Through the Temple iron company theycontrolled much of the output of coal,and, by tying up Independent operators, by ' the "65 per cent contract"they took away the last hope of reasonable prices.Knapp Corrects ReportIn the opinion of Chairman Knapp ofthe interstate commerce commissionand of his associates on that body, domestic freight rates are freer from unjust discriminations and more satisfactory in general than" they ever were before. ' \u25a0 ,~ .This fact was made clear in the testimony of Chairman Knapp before thehouse and senate committees, but anerroneous impression of the chairman'sattitude has been "publißhedV This iscorrected in a statement which he madetoday, as follows: " , „». "The report in many papers of a colloquy between \u25a0 the chairman of thehouse committee and myself on Satur- 'day entirely misrepresents .what oc-_curred.

Ifthere were to be a crisis and deadlock,however, they could not come too soon.The policy of the government was toplace the proposals before the house,so that the decision of the membersmight be taken thereon.. James Keir Hardie, president of theindependent labor . party, protestedagainst any attempted reconstructionof the house of lords, as the laborites,he said, did not believe merely in destroying the veto power of the lords, arelic of feudalism and an insult andoutrage upon democracy. .But, as the labor party could notget its own way, they would acceptthe second best course and support thegovernmentpin getting rid of the jveto.He hoped that the government wouldmake the passage of the budget contingent upon the veto bill goingthrough, and he urged the governmentto refuse the supply as a means offorcing the lords to agree to the abolition of their own power of veto.TELLS SOME MISTAKESOF PUBLISHING .FIRMSChapman & Hall Refused toPublish "East Lynne"Publishers, like other people) sometimes make mistakes. R. Cochrane, inthe Book Monthly, recalls some famousexamples. George Mereditn, as publisher's reader to Chapman and Hall, gavean opinion .emphatically against the acceptance of Mrs. Henry Wood's "EastL.ynne."The loss caused by this has been estimated at £30,000 to this publishingfirm, and of the connection, presumingthat they had issued her other novels,at £100.000. James Payn declined "JohnInglesant," as reader for Smith, Elder& Co., and it became a valuable literaryproperty in the hands of Macmillan &Co: -Edna Lyall's "We Two" was rejected by half a dozen publishers. Apublisher's reader pronounced W. ClarkRussell's "Wreck of the.'Grosvenor'" acatalogue of ship's furniture. It is theboast, of Hall Came that no novel ofhis has been hawked from publishinghouse to publishing house. 'G.R. Simerecords that a»short story of his, "APleasant Evening," was declined by theFamily Herald. Chambers' Journal, andAll the Year Round. Rider Haggard's"Dawn" was declined by five or six publishers. When Norman McLeod waseditor o.f Good Words, he arranged witha popular novelist- for a serial w.hicti onreading he found unsuitable. The publisher, Alexander Strahan, agreed inthis verdict, and paid the forfeit of £500,returning the MS. to its author, Anthony Trollope.BRITISH FASHION TENDSTO ABOLISH MUSTACHEPractice of Wearing Beards IsTraced to Crimean Warils the mustache about .to disappear, from thefaces of the mujorlt? of the population of theseislands? asks the Westminster Gazette. It almost looks as if-fashinn was tending lv that direction — at 'least.' Judging- from one's acquaintances. The Mitigate Monthly directs attentionto the history of this peculiar hirsute adornment,aftd tells us that the reais are not far rifntnntwbeu the directors of the- Bank of England issued jan order for the clerks not to wear mustaches 1durlnt; buslne** hours. . /fhls remarkable orderafforded the public so much amusement that Itwas «^»>n canceled.

Tue prejir^;diet-, extended to the liberal professions. Barristers had a long fight for. the mustache, andtoday it is not largely .worn as U*^ other professions. The bjshops in most Instances opposedit, and at the present time mustaches "are notpopular, more especially among the hlsh churchparty. In 1802 quite a" sensation was caused ',when.it became known thnt the then archbishopof York did not approve of the mustache among;the clergy. * ... \u25a0...." !It was about 1855 that the beard mnrementtook' hold* of the Kngllsu people. The Crimeanwar had much to do with it. The British soldiers were permitted to forego the use •of therazor, as the- hnlr on the fac<\ protected- themfrom the cold and attacks of neuralgia. • Aboutthis period only one civilian of 'position, in Eng- ,land had the hardihood to- wear a. mustache.was George !F. Muntz,' member of - parlia- iment for Birmingham. "The enlightened electors,however, did not take kindly to the bearded politician. A candidate on one occasion received anIntimation from the leader of his party that hismustache might prejudice him, ln the eyes of therural population.

Minetti says, atruck drawn by two hordes, onea bayand one white, called for the trunks."The actionsof Tunsi in getting thetrunks away so mysteriously has added to my suspicions in regard to him,"Sheriff W. P. Taylor of Marin countysaid last night. "The fact that heslipped away in July and has neverbeen seen since that time is anotherpoint against him. Mrs. Tuttle's identification of the watch, the charm andthe waist, among other points, makesit certain that Miss McKay, or Mrs.McKay, as she might have been,, wasthe woman whose body was found oi»Tamalpais. The work before us is tofind Ttmsi.. "Another link in the chain of evidence against Tunsi is the fact that hetold the men at the Swiss-Americanhotel that he and the woman had quarreled and separated.

She had aquantity of clothes in those two trunksin the Swiss-American hotel, as shetold Mrs. Tuttle, and as the hotelmentestify. Now if she had merely left -shewould have secured some of thoswclothes — come over to San Franciscoand got them out of the trunks.
